Netanyahu will be in Washington for the annual policy conference of America's largest pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The AIPAC conference runs from March 2 through March 4.

The visit comes as relations between the two leaders have further frayed over the Obama administration's interim deal with Iran, which Netanyahu called a “historic mistake” after it was signed last November. Netanyahu has long called for a tougher stance against the Iran, and argued that the Iranians are using the talks to gain breathing room from sanctions while still pursuing a nuclear weapon.
